A Word from the City of Spruce Grove...

In 1982, with the generous support of Melcor Developments Ltd., the City of Spruce Grove began buying original works of Alberta art, mostly by local artists. From a modest beginning, the collection has grown to over 170 pieces.

Many of these artworks are hanging in Spruce Grove's City Hall, at 315 Jespersen Avenue. Several pieces are on display in other civic locations such as Horizon Stage and the Spruce Grove Agrena. And, for the enjoyment of the entire community, a number of them can be seen in local businesses and other public spaces such as the Westview Health Centre.

The City of Spruce Grove wishes to acknowledge the invaluable sponsorship of Melcor Developments over these past twenty years. We look forward to continuing this collaboration in the very best tradition of public and private partnership.

The City also wishes to recognize the great contribution of the Allied Arts Council in fostering the visual arts in our community and for organizing the annual art competition from which the City’s collection is chosen.

We hope you enjoy your electronic visit to the Melcor Developments Municipal Art Collection.
